Historica Isabel Casteels las duizenden beschrijvingen van terechtstellingen, geschreven door de aanwezigen zelf, en laat voor het eerst zien wat mensen er écht van vonden. In tegenstelling tot wat we denken, zag het publiek een executie niet als vermaak, maar als een serieuze en belangrijke zaak.

Following World War II, Sweden faced the looming threat of the Soviet Union and its drive to spread communism. This led to the formation of a resistance movement involving Sweden's intelligence service, the employers' association and the labour movement. The stay-behind network was fully legalised in 1955 and continued its clandestine work until the mid-1990s, with the mission of keeping communism – and the Soviets – out of Sweden. Drawing on extensive archival research and interviews with key figures, author Johan Wennström peels back the layers of secrecy surrounding the stay-behinds.

Oft genannt – selten gelesen – nie gehört. Johann Gottlieb Fichtes Reden (1808) versuchen, ein Nationalgefühl zu wecken, und zielen auf die Gründung eines deutschen Nationalstaates, der die Nachfolge des erloschenen Heiligen Römischen Reiches antreten und sich von der französischen Herrschaft emanzipieren sollte. Er entwickelt gedanklich eine "Nationalerziehung“, welche "die Freiheit des Willens gänzlich vernichtet“, um den Einzelnen in ihrem Sinne zu formen. Es versteht sich, dass solche Reden heutzutage kontrovers beurteilt werden.
